India Inc’s hiring volume set to reach 23%: Indeed Hiring Tracker

As the world gradually recovers from the pandemic, the job market is following suit. Findings from Indeed’s recent quarterly hiring tracker showcased that a 5% increase is likely in the proportion of employers hiring during April to June 2022 as compared to January to March 2022. The percentage increase in hiring volume is also likely to see a 3% increase to reach 23% during Q1, FY23 as compared to Q4, FY 22. 

The India Hiring Tracker of Q4, FY2022 analyzed 1207 employers and 1491 job seekers between January and March 2022, to understand the quantum of hiring and job-seeking activity, roles employers prioritized, expectations jobseekers held, and how all of this came together to facilitate a good match between the two sides

The findings further revealed that first-time job seekers gained widespread acceptance from employers with nearly eight out of ten jobseekers surveyed (77%, up from 54% during the December 2021 quarter) securing their jobs during Q4, FY22. Most of the hiring of first-time job-seekers was from employers in the Information Technology (85%), Telecommunication (79%) and E-commerce (75%) sectors.
